(AP) \u2014 Black leaders in North Dakota’s largest city pleaded for calm Thursday in the face of violent threats to disrupt a gathering in memory of George Floyd and advertised the event as a celebration and not a protest. The OneFargo event is scheduled Friday afternoon at a downtown Fargo park. Organizers had planned to march from Island Park to City Hall for a sit-in. They have scrapped that idea after social media threats surfaced to burn down the city offices and commit other violent acts. Organizer Wess Philome says anyone who is looking to destroy the \u201cpositive energy\u201d from Friday’s event should stay home. The pledge to tone down the dissent comes after people damaged buildings and vehicles in downtown Fargo last weekend.<\/p>\n He says the emergency declaration he issued Saturday night during the downtown riot remains in effect which will allow the national guard to return, as a precaution.<\/p>\n Mahoney says threats have been found on social media, made by anarchists called Antifa, a loose knit group known to create violence during demonstrations.<\/p>\n He says authorities are well aware of the Facebook posts that threaten to burn city hall but it\u2019s not known if it\u2019s credible.<\/p>\n The mayor says Fargo will take the measures needed to protect the city. He says \u201cwe will be prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n Plywood was installed over the windows at Fargo Police headquarters.<\/p>\n Police Chief Dave Todd and Mayor Tim Mahoney say Osmundson chose to operate independently without approval. Osmundson was working behind the scenes without the knowledge of other officers.<\/p>\n Osmundson \u201ccreated a danger for himself and any officer who may have needed to come to his aid\u201d according to Todd. \u201cThis a serious matter and we are dealing with it quickly. Having a sworn person, whether they are an officer in uniform or a member of my command team acting on their own, operating independent of operations planning is unacceptable and dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n Todd says Osmundson has accepted full responsibility for his actions. Osmundson is a 31 year employee of the department.<\/p>\n Baesler is executive secretary of the board and is responsible for its administration.

FARGO, North Dakota – In the interest of the health and safety of the Special Olympics North Dakota (SOND) community and to continuance of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), the SOND State Summer Games which were scheduled for June 4-6 in Fargo will not be conducted. President\/CEO, Kathleen Meagher says, \u201cWe know this is a great disappointment for the entire SOND family, but the safety of our athlete\u2019s families, coaches, volunteers and staff remain our PRIMARY concern. This cancellation of a face to face event only compounds the feelings of disappointment and isolation. Our events are opportunities for entire communities to come together for a wonderful cause, a celebration of life, but unfortunately, joining together at this time can pose a risk to our participants and volunteers.\u201d<\/p>\n
